Evaluation of DTN Routing Protocols

In Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) data can transfer in challenging environments where a fully connected end to end path may never exist between a source and destination. These networks deal with large transmission delays, frequently disconnected paths, high link & path error and limited resources. Modern Internet protocols exhibits inefficient performance in those networks where the connectivity between end nodes has intermittent property due to dynamic topology such as Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANET) or Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANET).
